Introduction: jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDropDownList widget is a jQuery drop-down list that contains a list of selectable items displayed in the drop-down list.

The addItem() method is used to add a new item to the jqxDropDownList. It returns true if a new item is added successfully, otherwise returns false.

The following fields can be used for the new item.

  • label: It specifies the label of the item.
  • value: It specifies the value of the item.
  • disabled: It specifies whether the item is enabled/disabled.
  • checked: It specifies whether the item is checked/unchecked.
  • hasThreeStates: It specifies that the checkbox item supports three states.
  • html: It specifies the display item in HTML. It can be used instead of a label.
  • group: It specifies the item’s group.

Syntax:

$("Selector").jqxDropDownList('addItem', String );
